Head of Department : Dr. K M Peethambaran

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has been started in the academic year 2014, with B. Tech course in Mechanical Engineering. It is the youngest department in the institution. The intake of the students per year for the programme is 60. This department consists of 1 Associate Professor and 3 Assistant Professor. Mechanical Engineering has got much more global demand now-a-days as a conventional branch of engineering, the young, talented students searching for, due to the increased demand by the companies inside and outside the country. Today, mechanical engineers are working in all areas of our modern society. Industries, production plants, power plants, logistics, automobiles, aerospace, aircraft, ship technology, machine design, machines and controls, renewable energy, robotics, etc in all these fields, research, development and innovation are strongly influenced by mechanical engineers. The automation systems in the production sector are rapidly enhancing and the demand for highly skilled mechanical engineers is on the rise. Moreover, mechanical engineering influences our day-to-day life a lot. Employment perspectives are also excellent not only in our nation, but also abroad, where there is a shortage of qualified mechanical engineers.
